6th Of September: The Heavens Won't Fall, Tribunal Judgement Is Not Final - Falana

Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana has said President Muhammadu Buhari and those planning to succeed him in 2023 are tired.

Speaking at the Labour Party (LP) National Retreat on Monday in Abuja, Falana said that Nigerians have lost faith in the current All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

He charged the youths not to cower to intimidation, saying power lies in their votes.

He said, “The man in Aso Rock said I am tired and I want to go home. Those who want to take power are also tired. Power lies in the street now.

Falana claimed that the opposition party would want to engage in vote buying, noting that they have weaponized poverty in order to achieve the strategy.

He called on Labour Party members not to operate on such terrain, stressing how they have the largest structure in the land in terms of people.

He said, “And what do they want to do? They want to bribe voters because they have weaponized poverty. Therefore, you cannot operate on the same terrain. You have the largest structures in Nigeria. Please go out today to revitalize those structures.

“It is not business as usual in Nigeria again. Time is on our side. Because Nigerians have lost faith. They are now running from pillar to post when they say you have no structure. Tell them the people are the structure. Power is lying on the street.”
